Whoo-hoo! Finally, something to do today!
And can I say Bo looks positively hot and fuckable in that pic? i was never a fan during his pretty boy days.
I’m upstate NY right now, on my Macbook…and having an IMPOSSIBLE time getting Arte to stop buffering…anyone else?
Same here on the other side of the Atlantic. Just got to know that Zerlina here is Anna´s daughter and Elvira is Anna´s cousin. The entire action will take place in the house of the Commendatore.
It’s cleared up for me.
I’m having some issues getting into the live chat. Anyone else?
And, my french is not great, but did they just describe Zerlina as “Donna Anna’s daughter”? Um…we’re in for some weirdness, I suspect,.
does anyone know how to unattach the video? it will allow us to chat and to watch at the same time. Otherwise we get 2 options, full screen (and not being able to chat) or too small
Try here: http://liveweb.arte.tv/fr/video/Don_Giovanni_au_festival_d_Aix-en-Provence/
If the stream is buffering constantly, try clicking “SD” for a lower bandwidth stream.
And it just totally cut out like two bars into the overture.
we are all having the same issue here, frustrating….
Okay, it’s back. And Kyle Ketelsen is awesome. I think he’s got quite a career ahead of him.
still can’t get into the live chat. Anyone else?
He’s already having quite a career, I think – his Royal Opera debut was around 5 years ago I believe, he’s been back for a fair few things, and he’s a fairly regular fixture in other European houses.
well…this makes no sense.
